What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: r

1. In a vportable kitchen, a combustion chamber, a heating chamber, central and lateral cooking vessels depending into the heating chamber, the bottom of the central vessel directly overlying and forming the top of the combustion chamber, :fiues connecting the combustion chamber with the heating chamber,'means permitting the escape of the products of combustion from the heating chamber, andhorizontally disposed baifle means partially surrounding the central vessel for causing the products of combustion rising within the heating chamber to be divided and circulate about the opposite sides of the central vessel in a zig-zag path, first in one direction andthen in the other direction, the lateral" cooking vesselsbeing arranged laterally of the central vessel and passing through said bafile means, the products of combustion traversing the last mentioned vessels, first in one direction and then in the other direction.

2. In a portable kitchen, a combustion:

chamber, a heating chamber, a central cylindrical cooking vessel arranged in the heatlng chamber, the bottom of the central vessel directly overlying and forming the top of the combustion chamber, flues connecting the combustion chamber with the heating chamber at opposite sides ofthe cooking vessel,

substantially annularbaffle members-partially surrounding said vessel for causing the products of combustlon rising in the heating chamber to pass about the cooking vessel in a zig-zag path first in'one direction and then 7 in the other, and means permitting the escape of the products oiv combustion from the heating chamber.

3. In a portable kitchen, acombustion chamber, a heating chamber having opposed laterally enlarged portions, a central cooking vessel arranged in the heating chamber, the

bottom of the central vessel directly overlying and forming the top of the combustion chamber, fiues connecting the combustion chamber with the heating chamber'at opposite sides of the cooking vessel, vertically superposed bafiies, partially surrounding' said vessel for causing the products of combustion rising in the heating chamber to pass about the cooking vessel in a zig-zag path first in one direction and then in the other, and means permitting the escape of the products of combustion from the heating chamber,

and additional cooking vessels located in the laterally enlarged portions of the heating chamber, said additional cooking vessels passing through said baffles and subjected to the heating effect of the products of combustion passingtherebetween and arranged in the path of the products of combustion ris-.

ing through said fiues.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
